nicked from the the-ghetto article and from reddit.

It filled in a lot of my gaps of knowledge on the spread of StarCraft in Korea and its relationship with KeSPA.

A pointed quote from the author about the games and the industry that creates them:

They’re designed to bring enjoyment to children and adults. The most popular are branded with innocent family appeal. And behind the cute graphics lies one of the most vicious money-driven industries on the planet. It’s like finding out the characters of Sesame Street shoot heroin.
